Republic Souvenir Peso 1897 AU58 NGC, Gorham mint, KMX-M1. Type 1 with star above 97 baseline and widely spaced date. Absolutely popular and the scarcest of the 1897 Sovereign Peso varieties, shown here with exceptional steel-gray color, decorated by warm golden-reddish hues beneath the patina. The obverse portrait is high-relief in execution, showing light wear, while the central reverse design contains some flatness, not altogether uncommon for the type. Bordering on Mint State, and visually alluring at all angles.
